A Central Park Elopement in Early Winter

R & M decided on a quiet December elopement for two in New York City. They wanted a romantic feel to their wedding day, and the late afternoon light gave us a soft golden glow over Bethesda Terrace in Central Park. Our second stop was Brooklyn, where they had booked a hotel suite with a fabulous view of the Manhattan skyline. There, I performed a ceremony for them, legally binding (I have the power vested in me!), while my assistant Edith, a photographer in her own right, took photos.

We said goodnight to them around 4:30 as the sun went down.
